I had lasik about 9 years ago when I was 36. It was the best thing I have ever done. I also went to TLC. I don't know if it has changed or not, but when I had my eyes done they told me that while they could correct my nearsightedness (my vision now is 20/20 or better and has been all along) that when I reached my forties I would probably need reading glasses. In the last year I have had to start using reading glasses for very small print. It is my understanding that this type of vision loss is due to age/hormones/eyes drying out...I don't know for sure BUT, I highly recommend having the surgery. I have never known anyone that has regretted having it done. By the way, check your medical plan and see if they cover "corrective surgery" -- mine did and it was covered 100%
